Day 11 at the Rio Olympic Games has delivered more success for Great Britain with Jason Kenny and Laura Trott confirming their status as the country's golden couple.

Trott became Britain's greatest-ever female Olympian on Tuesday, winning her fourth gold in the women's omnium.

Her fiancé followed with a perfectly-timed run in the men keirin to take his sixth career Olympic gold, equalling Sir Chris Hoy as Britain's greatest ever Olympian.

Earlier, sailor Giles Scott took gold in the men’s Finn class.

More on the sad news Pele will not be able to attend tonight because of ill health.

"I'm not in physical condition to take part in the opening ceremony," Pele said.

"Only God is more important than my health. In my life, I've had fractures, surgeries, pain, hospital stays, victories and defeats. And I've always respected those who admire me."
